Gardening in the Desert

I must say...this gardening in the high desert stuff is not easy. I was lucky enough to have my garlic, herbs and radishes survive. Everything else I planted from seed, sprouted and died from the heat. This fall I plan to try again and plant broccoli, lettuce and radishes. If any readers have tips for high heat or dry climate gardening, I would be grateful!
On a happy note, my garlic is almost ready to dig up! I planted them last November (2012) and they started flowering the last week in June. I planted large Amish varieties, along with a spanish variety, claiming to be amazing in salsa.
How is your garden growing? Any tips?
Have a happy day,
